INSULINOMAS – EXPERIENCE FROM AN INSTITUTION IN SOUTH INDIA
Background: Insulinoma is a disorder affecting one in 100,000 of the general population. The clinical profile of insulinomas among Indian patients has not been characterized. Aim of the study: To study the clinical characteristics, biochemical and radiological parameters and treatment aspects of adult patients with insulinomas. Methodology: A retrospective analysis of 18 patients with insulinoma who were treated from 1992 to 2004

A Novel Fluorimetric Assay for the Detection of TACE (a-Secretase)
To facilitate high throughput screening of TACE inhibitors, AnaSpec synthesized a novel peptide substrate for TACE using QXL™ 520/5-FAM FRET pair. Using this FRET substrate, AnaSpec developed a new kit – the SensoLyte™ 520 TACE Activity Assay. This kit can be used to detect the activity of the enzyme and for screening of TACE inhibitors. It is highly sensitive and can detect subnanogram amounts of enzyme.

Effects of cannabinoids on cholinergic-mediated contraction of human bronchi
The current study was performed to investigate the role of cannabinoid (CB) receptors on the cholinergic contraction of isolated human airways. Results obtained with WIN55,212-2 (CB1/CB2 agonist), JWH-133 (CB2 agonist) and CB receptor selective antagonists suggest that CB1-receptor stimulation inhibits the cholinergic contraction in human isolated bronchi through stimulation of prejunctional receptors, located to post-ganglionic cholinergic nerves.

DISTRIBUTION OF SAa2,6GAL AND SAa2,3GAL LINKED SURFACE RECEPTORS IN HUMAN RESPIRATORY TRACT AND ASSOCIATION WITH INFLUENZA VIRUS REPLICATION
To investigate the level of SAa2,6Gal and a2,3Gal linked receptors on human bronchial epithelial cells, and relate this to the ability of both human and avian influenza viruses to infect bronchial epithelial cells

Inflammatory Markers in Leg Ulcer Fluid from Chronic Venous Insufficiency
The purpose of our study was to evaluate soluble matrixmetalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitor (TIMP1) associated to leg ulcer wound fluid in comparison with the tissue localized ones. We aimed to develop an easy-to-perform protocol for the quantification of soluble MMPs / TIMP and associate the obtained levels with the disease stage and prognostic.

Biomarker Discovery Strategy for Trisomy 21 Using iTRAQ and 4800 Plus MALDI TOF/TOF
Plasma proteins serve as good indicators of disease as there are representative proteins from several cellular processes and thus a potential source for biomarker discovery. The large dynamic range of plasma proteins makes the analysis very challenging, as a large number of low abundance proteins are masked by a few high abundance proteins.

Antibody Array-Based Analysis of Expression Levels in Protein Mixtures Extracted from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) Material using ULS Labeling
Protein was extracted from 7-year old FFPE samples of B-cell lymphoma and mamma carcinoma, followed by ULS labeling. Samples were used for single or two color assays using a custom-made antibody array. We observed differential expression levels for several captured analytes. In B-cell lymphoma, expected high levels of IgM were detected, while high levels of CA19-9, a putative marker, were found for the breast cancer tissue.
